Girl on Fire

This was also inspired by the Hunger Games. It's from the perspective from someone in the Capitol during Mockingjay, and is very upset with the turn of events, and in this "alternate ending" the Capitol wins, and the girl gets to watch Katniss Everdeen die

Girl on Fire, Watch it burn You made it so So watch and learn

It's all your fault, Girl on Fire You, the Mockingjay, Have proven to inspire

You cause us pain, Every single one But, Girl on Fire, Pain's no fun

What we want is victory, What we want is success Girl on Fire, listen up You've just created a mess

How hard you have made it For all of us here You've made us suffer Girl on Fire, bring on the tears

You hold the power While we hold the brains Watch, Girl on Fire, Watch as it rains

A hit in the gut A blow through the mind Oh, Girl on Fire You've caused my teeth to grind

I'm tired of you, You've killed and you've hurt But, Girl on Fire, I wish it were reversed

Oh, you don't notice I know you haven't seen See, Girl on Fire, How you've proven me keen

Because I have found something Your careless eyes have missed I've paid more attention To what you would call bliss

Re-look and re-think And you might find your flaw Just one small mistake Girl on Fire, and you've changed it all

Now I can win You've given me a lead A purpose, a feeling, Girl on Fire, I no longer bleed

You have lost, And I have won Oh, girl, Girl on Fire, Who is bright like the sun

Can you see it, right there? Too late, you have missed it Girl on Fire, oh you Did you have to resist it?

Goodbye, farewell, I'm done playing games Girl on Fire, accept it I'm my own person to blame

Listen, you could force a laugh Nevermind, I think you'll cry Girl on Fire, Girl on Fire, When do you plan to die?

I could do it; me I could arrange it, you know Little, harmless Girl on Fire BOOM! There you go
